Ultrahydrophobic Textiles Using Nanoparticles: Lotus Approach by Karthik Ramaratnam, Ph.D., Swaminatha K. Iyer, Ph.D., Mark K. Kinnan, George Chumanov, Ph.D., Phillip J. Brown, Ph.D., Igor Luminov, Ph.D.

“…Recent research indicates that such applications may benefit from a new generation of water repellent ma-terials that make use of the “lotus effect” to provide ultrahydrophobic textile materials.3,4 Ultrahydropho-bic surfaces are typically termed as the surfaces that show a water contact angle greater than 150°C with very low contact angle hysteresis.4 In the case of tex-tile materials, the level of hydrophobicity is often determined by measuring the static water contact angle only, since it is difficult to measure the contact angle hysteresis on a textile fabric because of the high levels of roughness inherent in textile structures.…”
